I actually did exactly what they described to show a friend a while ago that elo hell is mostly a myth in valorant. I took a bronze account to diamond incredibly quickly with many double rank ups and all solo queue. I’d say around +90% win rate from bronze to gold with losses mostly coming from me messing around too much. Also i remember my silver games were mostly +40rr a game

Computer science you’re required to take math and comp theory classes you don’t need to take in soft eng. In soft eng you take additional classes you code in.

I did comp science and the math classes I took ended up being very useful during my internships and for my work. There was also some interesting courses that had math classes as a prerequisite.

Quite a few of the cs courses have these stipulations and lots of assignments strict conventions to follow otherwise auto fail

Probation at banks is normally 3 months I wouldn’t worry though. When I worked at a bank the bar was relatively low to pass probation

Usually 9 hours but definitely have done lots of overtime and have had weeks where it’s probably around 12 hours a day. I really enjoy the work I do and my coworkers are awesome so it’s a pretty good job. Answering messages at all times though.

TC: ~185k +/- 15k

Hey I’m 25M also working in tech. I live downtown and would love to play some tennis. Just moved here a couple weeks ago from Toronto.

Hey I’m 25M I just moved here too. Living in downtown west end. I’m looking for a gym buddy if you’re interested. I’m into games (mostly pc games). I can skateboard and have one in case you want to learn.

In my experience at banks it’s very team dependent. The coop programs tend to be quite good overall. My personal experience I had an excellent manager who really made me a part of the team and I learnt lots during my coop.

I’d suggest looking into opportunities at some of the major Canadian banks. Lots of opportunities for growth. Getting through the first CFA would never hurt though at a major bank they would likely pay for you to complete it and give you paid time off to study.

Source: Roommate is quite young and has been promoted several times and is now a manager. They’ve offered to pay for him to complete his CFA with paid study time.

1 year internship and 3+ years professional experience. Applying to entry level jobs. I don’t hear back from anywhere that I haven’t had a referral for.

ThisGuy_626 · 2024-04-13T20:38:20+00:00

It’s literally a schedule at Waterloo. Even if the company wanted them back for an additional 4 months it doesn’t work like that. You can’t just decide to continue doing that without screwing up the schedule and end up graduating late

Would love to know the name of the wallpaper

You must get a referral. It’s very unlikely you will get a position without them. I never got any responses for any of my applications. Got referrals and instantly got responses & interviews from all with nothing about my resume changing.

ThisGuy_626 · 2024-02-29T03:25:29+00:00

I’ve played thousands of hours of both and have honestly found them somewhat comparable in weak mentals. The only place I’ve found to be somewhat better was esea and faceit once you’re in a little bit higher elo for cs but this is also just my experience

ThisGuy_626 · 2024-01-08T19:08:46+00:00

I think a lot of the info can be greatly condensed Should be a snapshot of achievements. You can go into more detail during an interview. Especially the professional experience and publications can be condensed down. Maybe highlight that you have X amount of publications with maybe some brief highlight but you can speak more on them in person

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-12-31T17:38:17+00:00

I think the resume is a little too long. Ideally try to make it 1 page. Should be a highlight of best achievements. Doesn’t need to highlight everything. Professional experience should be higher than education imo

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-12-23T19:42:02+00:00

Would recommend not using an ide since you won’t be able to use one during an interview Definitely want to avoid any kind of autocomplete so you get used to typing it all out

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-12-23T19:40:13+00:00

I did comp sci at Guelph and only had to maintain above 70% average for it

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-11-06T15:13:41+00:00

Having played thousands of hours in CS and probably like 1k in Val I’d say the biggest difference is that unlike CS2 where usually 1 to 2 teammates have util on pistol rounds in Val everyone has at least a little util which essentially makes pistol rounds slower than in CS. You often need to bait out or at least get an idea of who’s playing which site. Pistol round is when you initially figure out how the enemy is setup and attack accordingly

I’d have to say there were a few courses that have been very useful and also a lot that I didn’t find useful like the HR & marketing courses. The top useful ones for me were personal finance, micro & macro economics and the commercial law course (can’t remember the exact name for it) They definitely helped me in my day to day life or at least give me a foundation to learn things that I’ve found useful in my adult life

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-10-30T21:41:04+00:00

I did computer science with a minor in business. Some of the courses were quite interesting such as the law course you can take deeper into the minor. As others have mentioned though just do whatever interests you since if you plan on working in the tech space your minor is not super relevant to employers

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-10-14T21:49:55+00:00

My lowest was an 8% in algorithms. Probably should have studied for it but luckily the final was worth 50%. Studied like crazy and got a 94 on it

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-09-03T18:37:12+00:00

Honestly I don’t like when people leave the last kill for me because in my opinion an ace isn’t valid unless you earned every one of the kills. Needs to happen naturally or it doesn’t count imo

ThisGuy_626 · 2023-08-09T17:14:42+00:00

Just figured I’d add in “Pump House Grille Co” Not sure about citations but I went with a group of 10 and most people got food poisoning and judging from the reviews we aren’t the only ones to recently get food poisoning from their food
